RAZOR-STROP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 29, l1905.

Application filed March 29, 1905. Serial No. 252,723.

To all whom, it r11/ty concern:

Be it known that I, RUSS J. CHRISTY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fremont, in the county of Sandusky and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Razor-Strops,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a receptacle for razors; and it consists of a box adapted to receive one or more razors and supporting a stropping-strip and a easing for receiving the box, with means for strengthening the box, as set forth hereinafter and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an exterior side view of my improved receptacle. Fig. 2 is a cross-section. Fig. 3 is asectional plan on the line 3 3, Fig. 2.

The receptacle consistsY of the casing A and box B, the casing rectangular in cross-section, closed at one end and open at the other, where each side has a notch a. The box B is of a cross-sectional form to fit and slide in the casing A of the length of the interior of the latter, but less in height to admit of the attachment of the strop leather b, the notches a permitting the box to be grasped between the thumb and foreiinger to withdraw it. As

these parts for cheapness are made of pasteboard, and as this material is thin and flexible and would not support the pressure in stropping the blade of a razor on the leather I strengthen the strop-support by means of a strip c of wood extending longitudinally for part of the length of the box and with a recess The strip o is less in width than the box, leaving side spaces y y. The recess x and side spaces 'i/ y serve as receptacles for a razor or razors or parts thereof. For the Special form of razor to which the article is adapted-z'. e., a Christy razor where there is a cross-head e and a stem lf--the strip c is made shorter than the box, leaving an end space w to receive the cross-head of the razor, the Stem extending into the recess and the supplemental blades being placed in the receptacles y y. The box Bis closed at one end and open at the other, and this end is introduced into the casing, so that When'the box is in the casing it is sealed and the contents perfectly confined.

Without limiting myself to the construction shown, I claim! The combination in a razor-receptacle, of a casing of iiexible material, a box adapted to be inclosed thereby, a stropping-strip secured to the top of the box, and astrip c within and supporting the top of the box, narrower and shorter than the box and provided with a longitudinal recess substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
